Pretty yucky day here so far. Low 50‘s, overcast, and ???. Can’t complain I guess, we had two really great days this week. Many boards put down on the deck. Hardest part remains ripping up the old planks. Might be a good day to start on the Pride II galley cupboard. Always harder to get going when it’s dark, cold, overcast n soggy.

Good day!! Today, Jess and I are in Houston seeing a Brachial Plexus surgery specialist.. The brachial plexus is the complex nerve region that controls everything.. we hope to find out some good options today . We will be back Monday to see a plastic surgeon for a new closure over the damaged area.. Whatever the case may be, it’s progress.. we are positive and hopeful!!!
Btw, it’s a dreary overcast day here as well.. highs this afternoon in the low 70’s... Tomorrow is hopefully my critter chore and relaxation day.. and possibly lots of wine.. if I make it home I. Time, I could see me howling at the moon tonight:)

Ray Ray Ray..... I have a knowledgeable interest in many things but am an expert on nothing.... however, it does have an interesting bill-like shape ?. LOL
I was just trying to get you involved in a conversation. Like you dont have enough on your plate.
How is Jess doing?

Good evenooning all

It’s been busy again. I was training a new volunteer at the rescue today, something I do pretty regularly, but this lady really couldn’t cope :( I guess she was in her late 60s, but the way she struggled to remember everything from how to find her way round to where she had to get newspaper from (a drawer that was open) made me wonder if she was starting alzheimer’s; it was really sad. :( It’s the first time I’ve ever had to say to the staff that I don’t think someone will be useful :(

I came home feeling exhausted and quite dispirited, but with 2 hedgehogs to release in my garden. That’s happier at least :) I have cameras on them so hopefully I will have some pictures to show tomorrow of them as they explore their new home.

After a few mugs of tea and some cake (it was Daughter’s birthday yesterday) I felt better and mixed up this year’s Christmas Pudding batch. It needs A LOT of stirring and the mixture is to big and heavy for my mixer. So everyone gets roped in to stir in turn more than once!

Son should have come home tomorrow, but the covid level has been raised in London and he’s no longer allowed to meet indoors with anyone he doesn’t live with.

Tomorrow will be spent cooking Christmas Puddings. They are traditionally steamed. I use the pressure cooker, but it will still take all day!

Hope it goes well today!
Points if you howl at the moon tonight.

That's sweet of them! ?
Jill and her daughter, Sarah, and Jill's sister, Carole, all showed up around 11a. They brought a deli sandwich, some cookies and pumpkin bread. They worked hard and finished putting the plants in the greenhouse in an hour and a half - a job I normally work on the whole month of October.

This is a big load off my mind!
